Well I had a quick look at the machine today and the gent originally
wanted $800 for it. He then dropped the price to $700 and while I was
there he offered it to me for $350. He wants it gone and when he asked
what I would pay, I said I could not justify more than $150 as I really
had no need for the machine other than to satisfy some sick need to own
every type of machine ever built.
I think I'll wait another week
and then offer him the $150 again. He needs the space and is too old to
move it himself. It looks to be a 6 ton press so it was heavier duty
than I first imagined. It also had safety handles that needed to be
activated by each hand before it could be used (which had been
de-activated
)
It's a Danish built machine and quite compact. Enjoy the extra pictures:

The accessories were not much to write home about - a die for punching crosses and some dies for making traditional Norwegian jewellery for the traditional women's dress:

This isn't something I have thought of getting into. Out of curiosity, what thickness of aluminium plate could it punch out?
